If you've been around my blog for long, you know how much Ilovelavender.
And if you've ever spent time with me in person, you know how I can't resist lemons.
And now my little girl does, too. It makes me happy :)

So, in my world, there are few things more perfect than the blend of lavender and lemon.

To prevent the sugar from settling at the bottom of the pitcher, create a simple syrup. Slowly stir the sugar and 2 cups of water in a saucepan over low heat. Add the culinary lavender to the pot, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Once the simple syrup is cool, strain it to catch the lavender buds, and combine it with the lemon juice and water.

Add some ice and a few slices of lemon, and you have a lovely, refreshing summer drink!
